House Minority Leader Bradley H. Jones, Jr.
(R-North Reading) issued the following statement today following the House’s
adoption of an Order directing House Counsel to undertake a comprehensive
review of its policies to ensure a workplace free of sexual harassment:
“I applaud Speaker DeLeo’s decision to initiate a
comprehensive review of House policies on sexual harassment. Everyone deserves a safe work environment
free of sexual harassment, and no one should ever fear they will be subject to
retaliation for reporting unacceptable behavior by a colleague, co-worker or
supervisor. I strongly endorse this effort to address a very serious issue, and
I stand ready to assist in any way possible.”
